Presencias

Nepotism is not always a bad thing, we can look at the Cuaron´s family working together effectively; but this time Mandoki´s biggest mistake was to let his wife without any experience as a screenwriter in charge of the screenplay.

They had a very interesting idea as we can find out with the plot twist, but I think it would have worked better as a psychological thriller than a horror movie.

There's a couple of things I really enjoyed, as the visual effects, sound edition and the cinematography. Philip Lozano did a wondferful job portraying the landscapes as beautifly as needed for a horror movie.

Another wise move are the actors. We can realize Alberto Ammann and Yalitza Aparicio are really trying, unfortunately there´s not much they can do with a poor plot.

I think the biggest sin of the movie was its high expectation, being the return of Yalitza Aparicio after her Academy Award nomination, and being directed by once acclaimed Luis Mandoki.
